Grab the gang and book a private time slot to play with clay!  

Handbuild with clay! This is an amazing way of creating and letting loose! The possibilities are endless with handbuilding!

This workshop is perfect if you want to: Make a specific project (mug, vase, planters) or learn how you can make pottery at home without a wheel!

Private Workshops have a minimum of 6 students to run. Want to add a few extras? No problem! We can have up to 14 students.

Give us a call or send us an email to book your workshop or include your preferred date and time in the notes at checkout!

Our class includes everything: clay, tools, glaze, firing, and inspiration.

All you have to bring is your creativity!

Schedule
Studio Space
We will begin with a demonstration, then we'll get right to making! We'll provide all the equipment, tools, glaze and firings. Students are responsible for clean-up. Our workshops are designed to run for 1.5 hours. If you would like to organize a longer timeframe, just let us know!

Glaze 
Choose from 3 colours, or keep them natural! Your masterpieces will be ready in 3-6 weeks.

We want you and everyone else in the class to have a swell time! So here are our class policies, designed with everyone's best interests in mind:

• Respect everyone in the class. We all have our strengths & weaknesses, so lets be supportive and kind to one another.
• You are expected to clean up your own mud mess as best as possible within your station. Check out this youtube video.
• Classes start at the time given, so please arrive early enough to get yourself settled in. We recommend 10 minutes.
• If we cancel a class or workshop due to illness or weather, we will do our best to accommodate everyone when we reschedule.
• If you cancel your participation 5 days or more before the first class starts, 100% credit goes towards a future course at Amaranth Stoneware. Cancelled with less than 5 days notice: If we are able to replace your spot in the class, then you'll get a credit towards a future class at Amaranth Stoneware. If we are not able to fill your spot, then you forfeit your payment. We suggest sending a friend instead!
• If you do not show up to the class you have registered for we cannot provide a refund or alternative class for you.
• Full payment must be made before the first class begins.
• Class & Workshop registration is non-refundable but we are happy to offer you class credit to put towards a future date or towards supplies or pottery in the store.
• Classes are for those 12+ years old.
• Classes are subject to cancellation or rescheduling if the minimum number of students is not met. If cancelled due to low participation, a full refund will be offered.
• We will contact everyone via email or phone once pottery is fired and ready for pickup. We also post to our Are My Pots Ready Page on our website when pieces are unloaded from the kiln. Any pieces not picked up for over 1 month after their final firing will be up for adoption.
• Your own clay and tools MUST be taken home with you at the end of your class. Clay and tools left behind after your last class are donated / put up for adoption.
• Lastly: relax, have fun, and GET MUDDY!

Check out this youtube video on how to to clean at your wheel!

Pieces from a workshop are ready in 3-6 weeks and from a multiweek class in 1-3 weeks from your glaze night. Students are contacted by the registration email when pieces are ready. Please visit our Are my Pots Ready Pickup Page if you're unsure if your pieces are out of the kiln!
